Today we have a guest post with a brilliant idea for a money saving activity. We all spend so much on toys and games for children when there are so many things we can make to encourage their imagination and creativity.
Home Made Aromatherapy Play Dough
Ingredients
1 and half cups (1 cup is 250ml) of salt
3 cups of warm water
3 cups of plain flour
3 tablespoons of oil
6 teaspoons of cream of tartar
Food colouring
Essential oils
Method
- add the salt and water to a large pan and heat until the salt to melt has melted
- add the flour, oil and cream of tartar and heat over a medium heat, stirring continuously until it starts to pull away from the sides (you need to be quite vigorous)
- Tip out the dough and need for about 2 minutes
- Split the dough in to smaller amounts and add food colouring and essential oil
